[Stratford, Canada]
On December 3, 130 Falun Dafa practitioners from all over Canada participated in the town of Stratford's annual Christmas parade. This parade was the last in a series of ten parades in the Toronto area in which practitioners have participated, exposing more than 200,000 people to the Fa.
Stratford, Canada, commonly known as the City of Arts, is located just northwest of Toronto. This beautiful town is famous for its festivals presenting the theatrical works of Shakespeare. The culture of literature and theatre permeates the city. Bookstores, museums and galleries are everywhere.
This city has declared August 19 as Falun Dafa Day, demonstrating the fondness these kind-hearted people have for Dafa. People here are sincerely and gladly receiving practitioners' good wishes. Through our efforts, Dafa is giving its blessing to the city for a bright future.
The Christmas parade of the satellite cities of Toronto concluded here. Practitioners from Waterloo, Windsor, London, Hamilton and Toronto have participated in a total of ten parades and traveled through eleven cities, covering most of west, south and central Ontario. More than 30,000 Dafa newspapers have been distributed to interested spectators. There have been people with strong predestined relationships who have driven more than an hour to visit a practice site after receiving flyers.
